iDYNamicTV: a social adaptive television experience

ABSTRACT

The paper presents an approach to merge Web 2.0 and adaptation with TV contents in order to enrich the user experience. We present iDYNamicTV, a social Web-based recommender system dealing with multimedia contents. iDYNamicTV is part of a larger project by Telecom Italia (DynamicTV) for enhancing user experience in TV fruition. The goal of iDynamicTV is to provide facilities to entertain when exploring and discovering media contents on the Web using a computer interface.
